Wow what a brave little guy. WAY TO GO WALLY!!!

Don't feel too bad for the coon, if she had gotten in you would have no chickens left!

Bet he'll get all the ladies showing that off!!!

Wally: "oh that, that's nothing, just KILLED a coon once..."

Girls: *swoon*

I am an animal lover but I never shed any tears for raccoons. Sure it was trying to get a meal but had it succeeded in getting into your coop you'd have found a lot of carnage.

Not trying to turn this into a rooster training battle but personally I'd advise against this. We read on here all too often about roosters that have been coddled and held a lot turning very aggressive when they hit a year or so of age. I am of the camp that believes that a stand offish rooster will behave better once it matures.

I'm with bakerjw! Make pets of the pullets, but treat Wally like a chicken. Over socializing of roosters very frequently causes them to regard us as equals. In order to keep 'us' in our proper position in the flock, roosters can become human aggressive.
